Personal Injury & Auto Accident

Often pain from a collision will not exhibit itself in some cases for 5-15 days after an accident. If you wait months to seek treatment, the body will protect itself and in some cases scar tissue will develop which makes recovery from the car accident more difficult. Chiropractic care helps the body to heal without drugs by releasing pressure in areas effected and encourages nerves and joints to return to normal healthy positions. Chiropractic seeks to reduce nerve inflammation, swelling, and spasm using ice or heat therapies as part of the normal visit. We recommend an exam and treatment for any car collision no matter how minor. Any surprise impact can lead to headaches or joint stiffness. Left alone without treatment over time increases the chances for arthritis and decreased flexibility and/or decreases range of motion.

What does a chiropractor do? Adjustment and Manipulation are words used

When your chiropractor applies pressure to specific areas of the spine using her hands or a chiropractic tool, it is called an adjustment. The adjustment release vertebrae to settle into their correct positions. Adjustments are subtle but a cracking sound that occurs when the joint has released a buildup of pressure in the joints which will reduce the inflammation.

Reduction in Pain

When you visit for auto accident care, Gateway Chiropractic will begin with an exam. An adjustment helps your spine and joints heal, but may not be corrected on the first visit. The goal is to encourage your body’s ability to heal itself by reducing inflammation and swelling. Following a car crash, the sooner an adjustment can relieve nerve stress. If you are suffering from lower back pain, leg pain, headaches, or neck pain, after your accident the adjustment targets pain relief naturally.
